Shadows of Self

THAT ENDING!!

how is Sanderson still surprising me?? lmao. in retrospect i should've had a hunch that Bleeder was Lessie!

there's less “screen time” with Wax, Wayne and Marasi this time around, but i still liked getting to know MeLaan (who was very funny), Marasi's colleagues, and also Steris. it's refreshing that Steris hasn't been cast aside in some kind of Wax-Marasi-Steris love triangle; instead, Wax and Marasi are actually being proper, responsible adults and staying out of anything romantic.

i liked the cameo from TenSoon as well! it felt rewarding to have read the entire first trilogy haha.

the ending was so bittersweet. i love the picture of Steris doing her best to comfort her betrothed. poor Wax. :(

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT (and final) BOOK?!
